Question

what are some good colleges in CA because i don't plan on moving

Answer 1

There are a LOT of good colleges in California. What do you plan to study? How are your grades?

I offer for your consideration:

- Stanford
- UCLA
- USC
- Cal Tech
- Cal Arts
- Otis School of Art & Design
- Claremont McKenna
- Pomona College
- Harvey Mudd
- UC Berkeley

There are some very fine schools in California. These are just a few, to get you started.

Answer 2

California is really blessed by having a great public college system. They spent the money when it mattered decades ago and we still have a good legacy.

The State run systems are University of California, and
California State University. They have several campuses all across the state. The most famous are probably UCB and UCLA, but fame is not the most important factor. You should take some time to find out what you want to study and which schools have the best programs to meet your needs.

UC focuses more on research, and tends to be at the top of the pile for graduate studies. But one can get excellent undergraduate and graduate education from CSU as well, where class conditions aren't as crowded as UC. (I went to a CSU school for undergrad, and had some class sizes as small as 20-30 people. That is unheard of at the larger UC campuses.)

It really depends on what you want to study, and what environment, so I won't bother to shotgun a list for you.

The community college system throughout the state is very good as well, providing affordable access to education. Lots of students start at community college and then transfer to CSU, UC, or private uni later. If you go this course, be sure to talk with admissions about what credits transfer.

Answer 3

Well, the UCs are supposed to be good, right? Then there's Stanford. There's also the Claremont Consortium or whatever it's called, it's five schools that are all in Claremont and they kind of work together (you can take classes at all of them, even though you're only enrolled in one). There's Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pomona, Pitzer, and Scripps (a women's college only). Check out www.collegeboard.com and you can search for schools by state if you want, that should help you out.

Answer 4

California State college, Dominguez Hills (abbreviated CSUDH or Cal State Dominguez Hills) is a public college placed interior the l. a. suburb of Carson, California its the terrific and person-friendly to get into and has considerable levels in civil engineering, and/or regulation

Answer 5

Many of the UC state schools are very good: Berkeley and LA being two of the prominent ones.
Also, there's Stanford, which is one of the best schools in the country.

Answer 6

California is a big place with MANY colleges. Just find one near you and call them up.

Answer 7

If you don't want to move, you need to find the school near you. California offers hundreds of options, but my guess is that many of them would be too far away for you to consider.

Answer 8

it depends on your major but every UC school is great. (ucla, uc berkeley, uc irvine etc). As far as the best private schools go there is stanford, USC, LMU, pepperdine. those are the best..
